1995 Triumph Sprint 900 review from United Kingdom
"An outstanding all rounder"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
The CDI Pickup for the electronic ignition system. Apparently this is a relatively common problem.
The on board clock wears the battery down if stood for extended periods (more than 2 - 3 weeks).
General comments?
Overall I'm very impressed, it's not the lightest, fastest or best handling bike I've ridden, but has that unique combination of being good enough in each department to make it a great bike that you can live with.
It is certainly one of the most comfortable bikes, I've owned at just over 6'3". I find it easy to ride and handle, and don't get cramp like I do on many other sports tourers.
The seat height is not so good if you like your saddle a bit closer to the ground.
